About this listen

The number one New York Times best-selling thriller about an airport thrust into chaos by a whiteout blizzard: "A spellbinder" (The Denver Post).

As a raging blizzard wreaks havoc at Lincoln International Airport outside Chicago, airport and airline personnel try to cope with this unstoppable force of nature that is endangering thousands of lives. And in the air, a lone plane struggles to reach its destination. Over the course of seven pulse-pounding hours, a tense human drama plays out as a brilliant airport manager, an arrogant pilot, a tough maintenance man, and a beautiful stewardess strive to avert disaster.

Featuring a diverse cast of vibrant characters, Airport is both a realistic depiction of the airline industry and a novel of nail-biting suspense.

Initially thought I’d found myself in a family-friendly documentary on airport operations told through the stories of a few characters.
Whilst there were many insights into that the stories developed into an interesting interwoven plot. If this book was written when set it portrayed a reasonably modern, forward thinking take on life. Worth a listen.

Shockingly bad. I couldn't stand more than a minute of Harrison's syrupy monotone and being sucked through a jet engine would have been less nauseating. A good novel truly butchered...
